Editorial policy

This page exists so that a reader can tell what kind of writing this is before trusting a sentence in it.

What gets published

• Product facts only where the pack states them. A piece count, a length, a material name appears because it is printed on the product, not because it sounds right.
• Where a figure is unknown, it is left out. There are no invented weights, no invented gram counts, no invented steel grades and no drying times in minutes on this site.
• Anything touching food contact, small parts or age marks carries a link to the body that publishes the rule and the date we read the page.
• Arithmetic is shown rather than asserted: a per-piece price is the pack price divided by the printed count, and nothing else.

What does not get published

• Invented credentials. No founding year, no head count, no award, no certificate number, no laboratory result.
• Staged portraits. The people page shows first names and desks, because the alternative is stock photographs of strangers presented as our colleagues.
• Invented customer voices. Every quoted review is a real one, quoted as written.
• Health or safety promises. A cocktail pick is a cocktail pick.

Sources

The pages we rely on are U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Small Parts Ban and Choking Hazard Labeling (read 20 August 2026), U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Art Materials (read 20 August 2026), U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Understanding How the FDA Regulates Substances that Come into Contact with Food (read 20 August 2026), U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Bisphenol A (BPA): Use in Food Contact Application (read 20 August 2026). Each was opened and read on the date shown beside it, and the sentence on our page was written to the source rather than the source found to fit a sentence.

Corrections

Write to hello@chengu.org. A correction is made on the next update and the page is changed rather than argued about. Prices and piece counts are the errors we most want reported.

Independence

Nobody pays for a mention here. There are no sponsored placements, no gifted-in-exchange-for-coverage arrangements, and no advertising slots on any page.
